The neck is probably 3-4 thou smaller than the orifice and is only held in by a 50-60 thou wide bead of thread locker. I welded on an aluminum neck after this little mishap.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AKYt8AOxMLQ&amp;feature=share&amp;list=UUmZuihdts6CeccsfWgwSJDg\" target=\"_blank\">They went out testing<\/a> and the car is currently running great.
